Firstborn

"Firstborn" refers to the earliest child born into a family, typically the first to be delivered after the parents' relationship begins. In some cultures and contexts, being the firstborn carries special significance, such as responsibilities, privileges, or symbolic importance. For example, historically, firstborns might inherit leadership or family assets. The term applies regardless of gender and is used to distinguish that individual from siblings born later. It’s primarily a descriptive term that highlights birth order without implying any inherent characteristics beyond their position in the family sequence.
